This paper examines in a new way some known facts about numerical semigroups especially when the number of minimal generators (that is the embedding dimension) is at most three and at least two minimal generators are coprime. For such…
We introduce and examine the {\em Holiday Gathering Problem} which models the difficulty that couples have when trying to decide with which parents should they spend the holiday. Our goal is to schedule the family gatherings so that the…
In low distortion metric embeddings, the goal is to embed a host "hard" metric space into a "simpler" target space while approximately preserving pairwise distances. A highly desirable target space is that of a tree metric. Unfortunately,…
Let $F$ be a crossing family over ground set $V$, that is, for any two sets $U,W\in{F}$ with nonempty intersection and proper union, both sets $U\cap{W},U\cup{W}$ are in $F$. Let $\sigma:V\to \{+,-\}$ be a signing. We call $\sigma$ a…
We consider the problem of finding the isolated common roots of a set of polynomial functions defining a zero-dimensional ideal I in a ring R of polynomials over C. Normal form algorithms provide an algebraic approach to solve this problem.…
Dialogue generation models face the challenge of producing generic and repetitive responses. Unlike previous augmentation methods that mostly focus on token manipulation and ignore the essential variety within a single sample using hard…
We investigate {\em multidimensional covering mechanism-design} problems, wherein there are $m$ items that need to be covered and $n$ agents who provide covering objects, with each agent $i$ having a private cost for the covering objects he…
Covering numbers are a powerful tool used in the development of approximation algorithms, randomized dimension reduction methods, smoothed complexity analysis, and others. In this paper we prove upper bounds on the covering number of…
Since their introduction in 2004, Polynomial Modular Number Systems (PMNS) have become a very interesting tool for implementing cryptosystems relying on modular arithmetic in a secure and efficient way. However, while their implementation…
An $(r,w;d)$ cover-free family $(CFF)$ is a family of subsets of a finite set such that the intersection of any $r$ members of the family contains at least $d$ elements that are not in the union of any other $w$ members. The minimum number…
In machine learning, graph embedding algorithms seek low-dimensional representations of the input network data, thereby allowing for downstream tasks on compressed encodings. Recently, within the framework of network renormalization,…
In this paper, we introduce the Fixed Topology Minimum-Length Tree with Neighborhood Problem, which aims to embed a rooted tree-shaped graph into a $d$-dimensional metric space while minimizing its total length provided that the nodes must…
In recent years, graph neural networks (GNNs) have become a popular tool for solving various problems over graphs. In these models, the link structure of the graph is typically exploited and nodes' embeddings are iteratively updated based…
We enhance the approximation capabilities of algebraic polynomials by composing them with homeomorphisms. This composition yields families of functions that remain dense in the space of continuous functions, while enabling more accurate…
These notes present an approach to obtaining monoid operations which are compatible with a given family of mappings in the sense that the mappings become left translations in the monoid. This can be applied to various situations such as the…
A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…
We study the problem of counting the number of {\em isomorphic} copies of a given {\em template} graph, say $H$, in the input {\em base} graph, say $G$. In general, it is believed that polynomial time algorithms that solve this problem…
Graphs can be used to describe complex systems. Recently, whole graph embedding (graph representation learning) can compress a graph into a compact lower-dimension vector while preserving intrinsic properties, earning much attention.…
Standard mixed-integer programming formulations for the stable set problem on $n$-node graphs require $n$ integer variables. We prove that this is almost optimal: We give a family of $n$-node graphs for which every polynomial-size MIP…
An \emph{indeterminate string} $x = x[1..n]$ on an alphabet $\Sigma$ is a sequence of nonempty subsets of $\Sigma$; $x$ is said to be \emph{regular} if every subset is of size one. A proper substring $u$ of regular $x$ is said to be a…
